First Time, No Experience

The first time he reported to the Heavenly Dao, he had no experience.

But Dan Jing figured—

The louder his voice, the greater the chance of drawing a response from the Heavenly Dao!

So.

He directly used the power of the Solar Dao to broadcast his voice across the entire map!

What was this?

A world-channel shout for the Primordial World version of the universe—

It would surely draw a sliver of the Heavenly Dao's attention toward him!

Whoosh!

Moments after Dan Jing's booming shout fell silent.

A vast, majestic, supreme, impartial, and emotionless will cast an almost tangible "gaze" upon Dan Jing outside the Sun Star!

This utterly impartial and supreme will seemed to have been stunned silly by Dan Jing's thunderous bellow.

It simply "watched" him—

What was going on here?

"It really worked!"

Feeling that "gaze" settle upon him, Dan Jing raised a brow, delight appearing on his face.

He had merely howled for no reason at all.

He had never imagined—

That he would actually shout the will of the Heavenly Dao over!

How should he put this?

As expected of Lord Dan Jing! Even the will of the Heavenly Dao can be summoned with a shout!

When it came to face—

He had it firmly in his grasp!

His thoughts stirred for an instant before calming as completely as still water.

Under the "gaze" of the Heavenly Dao's will, and amid the attention of countless experts throughout the universe.

Dan Jing spoke aloud once more:

"I, Dan Jing, spirit of the Sun Star—the Sun God—have sensed that the complementary principles of Heaven and Earth are insufficient, and that the laws governing the transformations of heaven, earth, yin, and yang are incomplete."

"Therefore—"

"By comprehending Heaven and Earth, I have obtained a method that can set the sun and moon in motion, bring the alternation of day and night and the changing of seasons to every realm of the universe, and thereby give rise to boundless creation."

"..."

Dan Jing clearly recited the laws governing the movement of the sun and moon.

At the same time.

He wielded the authority over the Sun Star that he possessed, beginning to drive the changes in sunlight throughout the Primordial World.

Elsewhere.

Xi He and Chang Xi, the two sisters outside the Lunar Star, joined forces to operate the lunar power as well, driving the moonlight along the specific trajectory Dan Jing had deduced and perfected, setting it into motion across the skies of every realm in the universe.

For a time.

Within the countless realms of the Primordial World—

The sun and moon began to rise in the east and set in the west, and Heaven and Earth entered an endless cycle of alternating day and night.

During the day.

Heaven and Earth shifted from darkness to light, from yin to yang, while that brilliant great sun illuminated every realm of the universe.

During the night.

Heaven and Earth shifted from light to darkness, from yang to yin. As the sun set and the moon rose, the stars of the heavens would shine across the firmament as well.

No longer were their lights entirely swallowed by the radiance of the sun, hidden from the eyes of the common masses of the Primordial World.

As day and night alternated.

Changes of heat and cold, warmth and dampness, and countless others naturally unfolded throughout the realms of the universe.

Thus.

All manner of naturally evolving celestial phenomena began to emerge across the realms of the universe!

Among them—

The four most fundamental evolving celestial phenomena were: gentle spring, scorching summer, bleak autumn, and bitter winter!

Of course.

The changing of the seasons and the many other natural phenomena could not possibly emerge merely by moving the sun and moon and alternating day and night!

Within this—

Dan Jing had naturally incorporated many laws governing the changes of the solar terms while operating the sun and moon!

It was not something that could be accomplished simply by having the sun rise and the moon set.

Kunlun Mountain.

Within Jade Void Palace—

Inside the Supreme Clarity Hall.

Laozi stroked his grizzled beard as he watched the rising and setting of the sun and moon, the alternation of day and night, the changing of the seasons, and the emergence of countless natural phenomena between Heaven and Earth.

His aged eyes were filled with calmness and insight.

After a long while.

He softly said:

"The Dao follows nature!"

Laozi had learned something!

Within the Jade Clarity Hall.

Yuanshi stared intently at the trajectories of the sun and moon, the laws behind the changing solar terms, while his fingers calculated without pause.

After quite some time.

He stopped and sighed:

"Orderly and well-arranged!"

Yuanshi comprehended some of its subtleties.

Within the Highest Clarity Hall.

Tongtian watched the countless things between Heaven and Earth that endlessly arose and perished because of the movement of the sun and moon, the alternation of day and night, and the changing of the seasons.

Without realizing it, he became utterly absorbed.

After a long time.

Tongtian murmured:

"All things burst forth in contention!"

He grasped several mysteries that aligned with his own Highest Clarity Dao.

Fengqi Mountain.

Nuwa watched the flourishing vegetation and countless other scenes that emerged from the changes brought about by the movement of the sun and moon.

The Dao rhythm of the Creation Dao flowed around her, and her cultivation in the Dao of Creation became ever deeper and more extraordinary.

Understanding rose in her heart:

"The Dao of Creation is ceaselessly alive!"

At her side.

What Fuxi comprehended was somewhat different.

Watching the changing celestial phenomena, he raised a hand to stroke his beard.

He smiled and said:

"Celestial phenomena reveal heavenly secrets; they never depart from the profound source!"

The western land.

Atop Mount Sumeru.

Jieyin and Zhunti watched the many changes occurring between Heaven and Earth, their envious gazes turning toward Dan Jing, Xi He, and Chang Xi.

They truly envied them beyond measure!

They knew perfectly well—

Once Dan Jing, Xi He, and Chang Xi completed this evolution, they would certainly receive vast rewards from the Heavenly Dao!

There would definitely be plenty of merit!

Having been poor for so long that they feared poverty itself, Jieyin and Zhunti truly wished they could replace Dan Jing and the other two.

But they also understood—

This great opportunity was essentially a project Heaven and Earth had specifically designated for Dan Jing, lord of the Sun Star, as well as Xi He and Chang Xi, the two Lunar Goddesses!

No matter how envious others were, they could not seize it.

At most—

They could only receive a few scraps of Heavenly Dao merit, like leftovers from a feast!

Upon the land of the Primordial World.

It was not only the many experts qualified to gaze toward the Sun Star who gained insights and benefits.

Even among the common masses of the countless realms, many living beings obtained creation from this and successfully stepped onto the path of cultivation!

There was no need to find it strange.

This was only natural—

Setting the sun and moon in motion, bringing day-and-night alternation, seasonal changes, and countless other transformations to the Primordial World was an event that truly affected the order of Heaven and Earth and all living beings!

If it succeeded.

The Heavenly Dao's many rewards would absolutely not be lacking!

If it failed.

The Heavenly Dao's various punishments would likewise not be light!

So.

Do not think that great opportunities capable of yielding merit truly came without even the slightest risk.

After all, what line of work came without risk?

Time flashed by.

Five thousand years passed amid the process of testing the movement of the sun and moon, the alternation of day and night, and the changing of the seasons.

The Dao—

Began with one, stood upon three, and was fulfilled in five!

Once the five thousand years of verification had ended.

Dan Jing, who was operating the sunlight, and Xi He and Chang Xi, who were driving the moonlight, all sensed that the detailed laws governing the sun and moon's movement had been incorporated by the Primordial World into the fundamental rules of Heaven and Earth's operation.

After sensing this.

Even with Dan Jing's confident nature, he could not help but let out a breath of relief.

Afterward.

Smiling broadly, he ceased his intent to wield the authority of the Sun Star and bowed toward Heaven and Earth.

Then he spoke aloud once more:

"The sun and moon move, day and night alternate, the seasons change, transformations give rise to ten thousand forms, creation blesses the Primordial World, and fortune nourishes all living beings."

"May the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"
